Genes and enzymes involved in bacterial oxidation and reduction of inorganic arsenic
Open accessAbstract
The human use of toxic heavy metals is here to stay. In addition to intentional poisoning with arsenic ([40][1]) (arsenic levels in the hair of Napoleon Bonaparte approached 40 ppm, more than 1,000 times above allowable levels), medical, agricultural, and industrial uses of arsenic present major

Removal of arsenic using zero valent iron has been widely explored by several research groups both in the laboratory and in the field.
“In the last decade, removal of As using zero valent iron (ZVI) or Fe(0) for removal of As has been widely explored by several research groups both in the laboratory [142, 186, 187] and in the field [188–192].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
